Model 109

Bourdon Type

± 1/2% or ± 1% Full Scale Accuracy

The Model 109 is powered by a test-quality Bourdon tube assembly, fixed at one end with a high-pressure inlet and free to move at the other. This assembly is housed in a pressure chamber that is fitted with a high-pressure connection to the inside of the Bourdon tube and a low-pressure connection to the pressure chamber and the outside of the Bourdon tube.   As the pressure inside the Bourdon tube rises above the chamber pressure, the tube straightens, and its free end moves in response to the differential pressure.

This motion is transferred through an adjustable linkage to a precision rack-and-pinion mechanism located at the fixed end. The pinion rotates as the rack moves, and a magnet attached to the pinion transmits this motion through the solid chamber wall to an external magnetic assembly. A pointer, mounted to this external magnet, indicates the pressure differential on a calibrated dial.

To protect the instrument, a bi-directional pressure relief valve is included to guard against over-range in either direction up to the rated working pressure.

NOTE: The use of diaphragm seals is not recommended for Model 109 series gauge. Attempts to install such seals on these gauges will void the warranty
